BGG: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/337627

Voidfall is a heavy game (weight 9/10). The decision tree is among the deepest in the hobby (10/10), with meaningful long-term planning every turn. Decision density is intense (9/10) — expect brain-burn and the occasional bout of AP. Interaction is light (4/10); it leans toward parallel play. Direct conflict exists but is contained (4/10).
